A Shadow of its former self - No the place you want to work - Analyst Sagent Advisors Employee Review

Pros

The junior guys are as nice as you will ever find.

Cons

The culture is very toxic. For years they have fired first year analysts pretty much with every review cycle which has really created a toxic culture. Their largest deal marker recently left the firm. Take my review with a grain of salt and do your own homework... I am sure you will get the same results. Also recruiters generally look down on the firm. Comp is also below street - while they like to say they pay street, they are well below bulge brackets and top boutiques.

The people, senior-banker interaction, deal flow.

Small office if that bothers you, but it doesn't affect me.

Pros

Potential to work on great deals with senior bankers with a wide variety of styles and MOs. Senior bankers can see what juniors are doing - opportunity to stand out (for good or bad). Mostly thoughtful staffing decisions.

Cons

A little light on back-office infrastructure and benefits compared to a bulge bracket or elite boutique. Wide variety of MD styles and MOs creates risk of getting stuck with the wrong one. Choppy growth. Buy-side recruiting is possible but needs to be managed very carefully depending on your situation.
